Grounds

The article claims:

It sits in grounds that are exactly the same shape and, proportionally, the same size as the island and its position within those grounds match exactly its real position on the island. A freak chance or a complex mathematical calculation by Winter?

Yet Google Earth reveals no such geometry. This doesn't seem plausible. nemo (talk) 20:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Myths and Legends

[1] Fuerteventura News No 007 October 2005

The following was inserted into the article by 81.40.226.197 (talk · contribs):

The villa has given rise to many local myths and legends. It sits in grounds that are exactly the same as the island and its position within those grounds match exactly its position on the island. A freak chance or a complex mathematical calculation by Winter?

Local legends include it being used as a base station for contacting aliens! But the probably the most likely explanation for its isolated position and its santitised, hospital-like interior is that it was intended as a last bolt hole for Adolf Hitler and other top Nazis, a refuge to where they could escape and possibly undergo plastic surgery before being shipped to a new life with a new identity in the North or South Americas.

(a link to an article on a Geocities web site was included, but it is the only English source of this information.)

I have removed these paragraphs twice on the basis of unverifiability and general sense of nonsense. jnothman ^talk 03:05, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
